The matches
How close each one gets
Brooklyn
Brooklyn Candle StudioCassis is blackcurrant, and it sits here over leather and patchouli rather than rose. The berry lands; the green leaf that defines the original does not.
Tomato Leaf
Brooklyn Candle StudioTomato leaf and Italian parsley give the sharp green stem note Baies is built on, without any berry at all. The closest thing to the leaf half.
Love Potion
Brooklyn Candle StudioMandarin over lavender and jasmine. A softer floral than Bulgarian rose and much sweeter, but it covers the bouquet half of the accord.
Questions
What people ask about this scent
- What makes Baies hard to dupe?
- The accord depends on a green, almost bitter blackcurrant leaf sitting over rose. Cheaper fragrance oils reproduce the berry but not the leaf, which is why most dupes smell sweeter than the original.
